Evidently she did report her income; she said taxes brought her 1 mil down to 500K +.

She's just young and not very smart. And the kind of "not very smart" that she carries around will probably not be diminished by time.

Handling large sums of money is not easy. Most people simply cannot do it, and virtually no 24 year old can do it. I am a little encouraged by the house she bought, but only a little. Maybe things will turn out alright for her. As for the Bridge Card? May as well let her keep it; she's going to be reapplying anyway.

Once a welfare cheating moonbat, always a welfare-cheating moonbat.

The mind-numbing reality in this is, she really, truly expects a government handout. She has no sense of responsibility or sense of community -- it's all about her and what she wants.

She didn't report her change in income. Cases are reviewed every six months for eligibility. It was her responsibility to report her winnings.

yes, i know all that, but from what I understand she did report it and they didn't take it away. It's assets not income as it's not earned. She did nothing against any law. There is one going through the MI state legislature (has passed the House/assembly and is going to the Senate) which would require the Lottery/gaming commissar to inform DHS and cross check with anyone on the list of winnings and then to remove them from receiving aid.

However this woman is bitching because she "only" got $500k out of the winnings after taxes and what not and is "struggling" give me a fucking break. one, it was her dumbass fault for getting a lump sum and two she has plenty of money to set herself up for life if she was intelligent about investing it.

Well, then they need to fix the computer program, because the workers put the information into it and the computer decides whether someone remains eligible or not. There's not much human oversight to it anymore. An older worker might have picked up the situation, but a younger worker would never question the computer.

a lot of the people that work there don't give a shit either.

I can respect someone who I do not agree with, but I have NO respect for someone who puts others down in a public forum. That is the hallmark of someone who has no integrity, and cannot be trusted.

I'm a bit nervous about the ramifications that may come about though. I could easily see the politically correct requirements, and generally prudent ideas, as far exceeding the savings the tax payer will ever see.
